Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Harlan Stratton passing. My family grew up down the street from his family and we even baby sat the kids. He was a fun person and delightful to talk to. He will be missed.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the family at your dad's passing. Harley and Betty were our very good friends for a long time. We enjoyed many fishing trips, fun times and hospitality with them through the years. We especially enjoyed Harley's stories of old Hobart and the interesting life he led. He was a one of a kind, never to be replaced good man. Sending hugs and love to all of you during these difficult times. Dave and Dottie Leonard

My sincere sympathy to Harlan's family. My husband and I had a deep respect for your father and mother. They were definitely the "Shakers" of Hobart. One time your father came into a local coffee shop with yellow sticky notes on his shirt. When asked about them he replied, that's so I can remember my "to do" chores...lol He will be missed.

To the Stratton Family:
Having lived in Hobart most of my life with parents actively involved in the Community I was very aware of Harley and Betty Stratton.
My mother, Opal, was friends with Betty and I know their spirits are together in friendship. My father, Jack Parks, had Parks Heating and knew Harley well. He wAs introduced to him while working for Vernon Traeger.
Such a wonderful long life Harley had.
My condolences to you for your loss but the good memories are...
